Categories     side-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus more for the dish
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup crushed gingersnap cookies
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
Kosher salt
Pinch of cayenne pepper
3 pounds sweet potatoes (6 to 8 medium), peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and gingersnap crumbs and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, 3 to 5 minutes; set aside.
  • Combine the heavy cream, maple syrup, thyme, allspice, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and the cayenne in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat.
  • Butter a 3-quart baking dish. Spread a single layer of sweet potatoes in the bottom of the baking dish and pour about one-third of the cream mixture on top. Repeat to make 2 more layers of potatoes and cream. Cover with foil and bake 40 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until the cream is bubbling and the potatoes are lightly browned and tender when pierced with a knife, 40 to 50 more minutes, sprinkling the breadcrumb mixture over the potatoes during the last 5 minutes of baking.

SWEET POTATO AND GRUYèRE GRATIN



Sweet Potato and Gruyère Gratin image

This rich, cheese-laden gratin is a more savory take on the usual Thanksgiving sweet potato casserole, with sage and rosemary giving it an herbal bite. If you'd like to make it partway ahead, you can peel and slice the potatoes the day before; store in a sealable plastic bag in the fridge. You can also simmer the cream mixture (don't add eggs) and grate the cheese the day before as well, storing them covered in the refrigerator.

Categories     casseroles, side dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, for pan and foil
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
2 cups heavy cream (or half-and-half)
3 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
3 fat cloves garlic, grated or minced
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 pounds sweet potatoes (about 4 large or 5 medium), peeled
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 2/3 cups/6 1/2 ounces grated Gruyère

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees and generously butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan or shallow gratin dish. Butter a piece of foil large enough to cover top of pan. Sprinkle Parmesan all over bottom of pan.
  • In a medium pot, bring cream, sage, rosemary, garlic, nutmeg and a pinch of salt to a simmer. Simmer until reduced by 1/4, about 10 minutes.
  • In a large, heatproof bowl, whisk eggs just enough to break them up. Slowly pour hot cream into eggs to combine, whisking while pouring, and reserve the mixture.
  • Meanwhile, using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch-thick rounds.
  • Place 1 layer of potatoes in the pan, slightly overlapping as you go, using about a third of the slices. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste, then pour 1/3 of the egg mixture over potatoes. Top with 1/2 cup Gruyère. Repeat with another layer of potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, pepper and 1/3 egg mixture. Top with 1/2 cup Gruyère. Top with remaining potatoes, 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper to taste, and remaining egg mixture (but not the remaining cheese). Press down to compact the potatoes. Cover with foil and bake until potatoes are tender, about 40 minutes, then remove foil, sprinkle top with remaining 2/3 cup Gruyère and bake until browned and bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly, then serve.

SWEET & WHITE POTATO GRATIN



Sweet & White Potato Gratin image

This is a variation on the fabulous recipe in Williams-Sonoma's Holiday Celebrations cookbook. I made it a bit simpler by substituting cheddar for the fontina (not a really close substitution, I know, but I'm so much more likely to have it on hand, and it still tastes great!), replacing the fresh thyme with dried, and adding a French-fried onion topping instead of breadcrumbs, which adds a lovely flavor. I prefer goat cheese to the feta myself, but feta works just fine if you can't find the goat cheese. By the way, as an Italian, I am pleading with you NOT to use the canned powder masquerading as Parmesan cheese! The bagged, pre-shredded cheese I'll allow, however! :)

  • Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure the potatoes are in a single layer in the baking dish so that they can cook evenly.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: A good quality cheese, such as Gruyère or Parmesan, will add a lot of flavor to the gratin.
